Page 13: Stainless Steel Surfaces
Maintenance (Cont.) VSG and VSGX gate surfaces are made from stainless steel with a #4 satin finish by default. These surfaces are resistant to corrosion, but they need to be checked and cleaned regularly to preserve their protective qualities. Surface deposits and scratches can damage the finish and cause the steel underneath to rust.
